RecommendsNeutral OutlookI worked at University of Calgary full-time for less than a year
Pros
Unionized position, so salary, vacation, etc. is very clearly outlined. Good benefits. Great job & co-workers - I think people tend not to work there unless they want to because pay is much lower than in industry.
Cons
Because of unionization there’s little flexibility and a lot of paperwork. Pay is not great.
